contextMenu :Object
JQ selector identifying the JET Menu that the component should launch as a context menu on right-click, Shift-F10, Press & Hold, or component-specific gesture. If specified, the browser's native context menu will be replaced by the specified JET Menu.
To specify a JET context menu on a DOM element that is not a JET component, see the
ojContextMenu
binding.To make the page semantically accurate from the outset, applications are encouraged to specify the context menu via the standard HTML5 syntax shown in the below example. When the component is initialized, the context menu thus specified will be set on the component.
After create time, the
contextMenu
option should be set via this API, not by setting the DOM attribute.- Default Value:
null
- Inherited From:
- Source:
Examples
Initialize a JET component with a context menu:
// via recommended HTML5 syntax: <div id="myComponent" contextmenu="myMenu" data-bind="ojComponent: { ... }> // via JET initializer (less preferred) : // Foo is the component, e.g., InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc. $( ".selector" ).ojFoo({ "contextMenu": "#myMenu" });
Get or set the
contextMenu
option, after initialization:// getter // Foo is the component, e.g., Menu, Button, InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc. var menu = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "contextMenu" ); // setter // Foo is the component, e.g., InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc. $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "contextMenu", ".my-marker-class" );
Set a JET context menu on an ordinary HTML element:
<a href="#" id="myAnchor" contextmenu="myMenu" data-bind="ojContextMenu: {}">Some text
currentRow :Object

- Source:
rootAttributes :Object
Attributes specified here will be set on the component's root DOM element at creation time. This is particularly useful for components like Dialog that wrap themselves in a new root element at creation time.
The supported attributes are
id
, which overwrites any existing value, andclass
andstyle
, which are appended to the current class and style, if any.Setting this option after component creation has no effect. At that time, the root element already exists, and can be accessed directly via the
widget
method, per the second example below.- Default Value:
null
- Inherited From:
- Source:
Examples
Initialize a JET component, specifying a set of attributes to be set on the component's root DOM element:
// Foo is the component, e.g., Menu, Button, InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc. $( ".selector" ).ojFoo({ "rootAttributes": { "id": "myId", "style": "max-width:100%; color:blue;", "class": "my-class" }});
After initialization,
rootAttributes
should not be used. It is not needed at that time, as attributes of the root DOM element can simply be set directly, usingwidget
:// Foo is the component, e.g., Menu, Button, InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc. $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "widget" ).css( "height", "100px" ); $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "widget" ).addClass( "my-class" );

This method has several overloads, which get and set component options and their fields. The functionality is unchanged from that provided by JQUI. See the examples for details on each overload.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description optionName
string | Object <optional>
the option name (string, first two overloads), or the map (Object, last overload). Omitted in the third overload. value
Object <optional>
a value to set for the option. Second overload only. - Inherited From:

Returns:
The getter overloads return the retrieved value(s). When called via the public jQuery syntax, the setter overloads return the object on which they were called, to facilitate method chaining.- Type
- Object | undefined
Examples
First overload: get one option:
This overload accepts a (possibly dot-separated)
optionName
param as a string, and returns the current value of that option.var isDisabled = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "disabled" ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc. // For object-valued options, dot notation can be used to get the value of a field or nested field. var startIcon = $( ".selector" ).ojButton( "option", "icons.start" ); // icons is object with "start" field
Second overload: set one option:
This overload accepts two params: a (possibly dot-separated)
optionName
string, and a new value to which that option will be set.$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "disabled", true ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc. // For object-valued options, dot notation can be used to set the value // of a field or nested field, without altering the rest of the object. $( ".selector" ).ojButton( "option", "icons.start", myStartIcon ); // icons is object with "start" field
Third overload: get all options:
This overload accepts no params, and returns a map of key/value pairs representing all the component options and their values.
var options = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option" ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.
Fourth overload: set one or more options:
This overload accepts a single map of option-value pairs to set on the component. Unlike the first two overloads, dot notation cannot be used.
$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", { disabled: true, bar: 42 } ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.

Non-public Methods
Note: Extending JET components is not currently supported. Thus, non-public methods are for internal use only.
-
<protected, static> _AfterCreate()
-
Initialize the table after creation
- Source:
-
<protected> _AfterCreate()
-
This method is called after _ComponentCreate, but before the
create
event is fired. The JET base component does tasks here that must happen after the component (subclass) has created itself in its override of _ComponentCreate. Notably, the base component handles the rootAttributes and contextMenu options here, since those options operate on the component root node, which for some components is created in their override of _ComponentCreate.Subclasses should override this method only if they have tasks that must happen after a superclass's implementation of this method, e.g. tasks that must happen after the context menu is set on the component.
Overrides of this method should call
this._super
first.- Inherited From:
- Source:
-
<protected> _AfterCreateEvent()
-
This method is called after the
create
event is fired. Components usually should not override this method, as it is rarely correct to wait until after thecreate
event to perform a create-time task.An example of a correct usage of this method is Dialog's auto-open behavior, which needs to happen after the
create
event.Only behaviors (like Dialog auto-open behavior) should occur in this method. Component initialization must occur earlier, before the
create
event is fired, so thatcreate
listeners see a fully inited component.Overrides of this method should call
this._super
first.Do not confuse this method with the _AfterCreate method, which is more commonly used.

<protected> _CompareOptionValues(option, value1, value2) → {boolean}

Compares 2 option values for equality and returns true if they are equal; false otherwise.

This method is final in JET. Components should instead override one or more of the overridable create-time methods listed in _ComponentCreate.

This method is not used in JET. Components should instead override _InitOptions.
- Inherited From:

<protected> _GetReadingDirection() → {string}
-
Determines whether the component is LTR or RTL.
Component responsibilities:
- All components must determine directionality exclusively by calling this protected superclass method. (So that any future updates to the logic can be made in this one place.)
- Components that need to know the directionality must call this method at create-time
and from
refresh()
, and cache the value. - Components should not call this at other times, and should instead use the cached value. (This avoids constant DOM queries, and avoids any future issues with component reparenting (i.e. popups) if support for directional islands is added.)
App responsibilities:
- The app specifies directionality by setting the HTML
"dir"
attribute on the<html>
node. When omitted, the default is"ltr"
. (Per-component directionality / directional islands are not currently supported due to inadequate CSS support.) - As with any DOM change, the app must
refresh()
the component if the directionality changes dynamically. (This provides a hook for component housekeeping, and allows caching.)
- Default Value:
"ltr"
- Inherited From:
- Source:
Returns:
the reading direction, either"ltr"
or"rtl"
- Type
- string
-
<protected> _GetSavedAttributes(element) → {Object|null}
-
Gets the saved attributes for the provided element.
If you don't override _SaveAttributes and _RestoreAttributes, then this will return null.
If you override _SaveAttributes to call _SaveAllAttributes, then this will return all the attributes. If you override _SaveAttributes/_RestoreAttributes to do your own thing, then you may also have to override _GetSavedAttributes to return whatever you saved if you need access to the saved attributes.
Parameters:

Object jQuery selection, should be a single entry - Inherited From:

Returns:
savedAttributes - attributes that were saved for this element in _SaveAttributes, or null if none were saved.- Type
- Object | null
-
<protected> _init()
-
JET components should almost never implement this JQUI method. Please consult an architect if you believe you have an exception. Reasons:
- This method is called at create time, after the
create
event is fired. It is rare for that to be the appropriate time to perform a create-time task. For those rare cases, we have the _AfterCreateEvent method, which is preferred over this method since it is called only at that time, not also at re-init time (see next). - This method is also called at "re-init" time, i.e. when the initializer is called after the component has already been created. JET has not yet identified any desired semantics for re-initing a component.
- Inherited From:
- Source:
- This method is called at create time, after the
-
<protected> _InitOptions(originalDefaults, constructorOptions)
-
This method is called before _ComponentCreate, at which point the component has not yet been rendered. Component options should be initialized in this method, so that their final values are in place when _ComponentCreate is called.
This includes getting option values from the DOM, where applicable, and coercing option values (however derived) to their appropriate data type if needed.
No work other than setting options should be done in this method. In particular, nothing should be set on the DOM until _ComponentCreate, e.g. setting the
disabled
DOM attribute from thedisabled
option.A given option (like
disabled
) appears in theconstructorOptions
param iff the app set it in the constructor:- If it appears in
constructorOptions
, it should win over what's in the DOM (e.g.disabled
DOM attribute). If for some reason you need to tweak the value that the app set, then enable writeback when doing so:this.option('foo', bar, {'_context': {writeback: true, internalSet: true}})
. - If it doesn't appear in
constructorOptions
, then that option definitely is not bound, so writeback is not needed. So if you need to set the option (e.g. from a DOM attribute), usethis.option('foo', bar, {'_context': {internalSet: true}})
.
Overrides of this method should call
this._super
first.Parameters:

<protected> _NotifyAttached()
-
Notifies the component that its subtree has been connected to the document programmatically after the component has been created.
- Inherited From:
- Source:
-
<protected> _NotifyContextMenuGesture(menu, event, eventType)
-
When the contextMenu option is set, this method is called when the user invokes the context menu via the default gestures: right-click, Press & Hold, and Shift-F10. Components should not call this method directly.
The default implementation simply calls this._OpenContextMenu(event, eventType). Overrides of this method should call that same method, perhaps with additional params, not menu.open().
This method may be overridden by components needing to do things like the following:
- Customize the launcher or position passed to _OpenContextMenu(). See that method for guidance on these customizations.
- Customize the menu contents. E.g. some components need to enable/disable built-in commands like Cut and Paste, based on state at launch time.
- Bail out in some cases. E.g. components with UX approval to use PressHoldRelease rather than Press & Hold can override this method
to say
if (eventType !== "touch") this._OpenContextMenu(event, eventType);
. When those components detect the alternate context menu gesture (e.g. PressHoldRelease), that separate listener should call this._OpenContextMenu(), not this method (_NotifyContextMenuGesture()
), and not menu.open().
Components needing to do per-launch setup like the above tasks should do so in an override of this method, not in a beforeOpen listener or an _OpenContextMenu() override. This is discussed more fully here.
Parameters:
Name Type Description menu
Object The JET Menu to open as a context menu. Always non- null
.event
Event What triggered the menu launch. Always non- null
.eventType
string "mouse", "touch", or "keyboard". Never null

<protected> _OpenContextMenu(event, eventType, openOptions, submenuOpenOptions, shallow)
-
The only correct way for a component to open its context menu is by calling this method, not by calling Menu.open() or _NotifyContextMenuGesture(). This method should be called in two cases:
- This method is called by _NotifyContextMenuGesture() and its overrides. That method is called when the baseComponent detects the default context menu gestures: right-click, Press & Hold, and Shift-F10.
- Components with UX-approved support for alternate context menu gestures like PressHoldRelease should call this method directly when those gestures are detected.
Components needing to customize how the context menu is launched, or do any per-launch setup, should do so in the caller of this method, (which is one of the two callers listed above), often by customizing the params passed to this method (
_OpenContextMenu
) per the guidance below. This setup should not be done in the following ways:- Components should not perform setup in a beforeOpen listener, as this can cause a race
condition where behavior depends on who got their listener registered first: the component or the app. The only correct component use
of a
beforeOpen
listener is when there's a need to detect whether something else launched the menu. - Components should not override this method (
_OpenContextMenu
), as this method is final. Instead, customize the params that are passed to it.
Guidance on setting OpenOptions fields:
Launcher:
Depending on individual component needs, any focusable element within the component can be the appropriate launcher for this launch.
Browser focus returns to the launcher on menu dismissal, so the launcher must at least be focusable. Typically a tabbable (not just focusable) element is safer, since it just focuses something the user could have focused on their own.
By default (i.e. if
openOptions
is not passed, or if it lacks alauncher
field), the component init node is used as the launcher for this launch. If that is not focusable or is suboptimal for a given component, that component should pass something else. E.g. components with a "roving tabstop" (like Toolbar) should typically choose the current tabstop as their launcher.The :focusable and :tabbable selectors may come in handy for choosing a launcher, e.g. something like
this.widget().find(".my-class:tabbable").first()
.Position:
By default, this method applies positioning that differs from Menu's default in the following ways: (The specific settings are subject to change.)
- For mouse and touch events, the menu is positioned relative to the event, not the launcher.
- For touch events,
"my"
is set to"start>40 center"
, to avoid having the context menu obscured by the user's finger, and"collision"
is set to"flipfit"
, to avoid auto-scrolling on tablets.
Usually, if
position
needs to be customized at all, the only thing that needs changing is its"of"
field, and only for keyboard launches (since mouse/touch launches should almost certainly keep the default"event"
positioning). This situation arises anytime the element relative to which the menu should be positioned for keyboard launches is different than thelauncher
element (the element to which focus should be returned upon dismissal). For this case,{ "position": {"of": eventType==="keyboard" ? someElement : "event"} }
can be passed as theopenOptions
param.Be careful not to clobber useful defaults by specifying too much. E.g. if you only want to customize
"of"
, don't pass other fields like"my"
, since your value will be used for all modalities (mouse, touch, keyboard), replacing the modality-specific defaults that are usually correct. Likewise, don't forget theeventType==="keyboard"
check if you only want to customize"of"
for keyboard launches.InitialFocus:
This method forces initialFocus to
"menu"
for this launch, so the caller needn't specify it.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description event
Event What triggered the context menu launch. Must be non- null
.eventType
string "mouse", "touch", or "keyboard". Must be non- null
. Passed explicitly since caller knows what it's listening for, and since events likecontextmenu
andclick
can be generated by various input modalities, making it potentially error-prone for this method to determine how they were generated.openOptions
Object <optional>
Options to merge with this method's defaults, which are discussed above. The result will be passed to Menu.open(). May be null
or omitted. See also theshallow
param.submenuOpenOptions
Object <optional>
Options to be passed through to Menu.open(). May be null
or omitted.shallow
boolean <optional>
Whether to perform a deep or shallow merge of openOptions
with this method's default value. The default and most commonly correct / useful value isfalse
.- If
true
, a shallow merge is performed, meaning that the caller'sposition
object, if passed, will completely replace this method's defaultposition
object. - If
false
or omitted, a deep merge is performed. For example, if the caller wishes to tweakposition.of
while keeping this method's defaults forposition.my
,position.at
, etc., it can pass{"of": anOfValue}
as theposition
value.
The
shallow
param is n/a forsubmenuOpenOptions
, since this method doesn't apply any defaults to that. (It's a direct pass-through.)- Inherited From:
